Well, don't think I'm necessarily being cynical if I suggest that it could
be this free screen reader will only be allowed to exist if the access
establishment agrees to it.
Being a bit less cynical, I believe the screen reader - I think its called
LookOut - is still around for ?80 so, if they're going to sell that, then
the free one had better not do too much.

And of course the small print says:-
You will have to pay for more functionality to do the
following:
Carry out - visual tasks such as dealing with pictures,
inserting symbols and more complex format situations in
Microsoft Word;
Use Microsoft Outlook's features;
Explore other music and multi-media software.

Subject: [access-uk] Free Screenreader Is There already
The other day you guys told me about an upcoming free
widnows screenreader. Apparently it is hatched already and
can be downloaded from
www.screenreader.net
the webpage doesn't give too much information but has the
manual and a hotkey reference for download.
I have not yet tried Thunder myself as I hope to find out if
it installs a video hook or relies on msaa only.
I hope this is really a working solution that can get people
started with computers.
Cheers,
Doris
